I finally figured out why AI causes such a visceral reaction in thinking humans: I am writing my book chapter on PLAY, and AI is the opposite of play. We play for the joy of the process, not for the outcome. Yes it is nice to win, to have the art/ poem, but the point of life is to play.

The implication here, though, is that AI will, on behalf of students, be writing essays that AI will then mark, on behalf of lecturers. I'd suggest that people who actually want to 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘯 will need to leave AI running round its little Möbius strip, and go and find some human teachers elsewhere.
